Help From Heaven

orchidee



Tune: St Cuthbert

('Our blest Redeemer, ere He breathed')

Psalm 124

**********

If the LORD was not on our side

Did not with us abide

When enemies rose up against

Us, they incensed

 

Then they would have swallowed us quick

We then in troubles thick

Would have been, when their wrath was stirred

On us conferred

 

Then the waters would haves swept o'er

Us, and flooded our shore

Stream would have swept over our soul

And took its toll

 

Blessed be the LORD, He not given

Us to them, but riven

Their traps, our soul escaped as bird

Our prayers you heard

 

Set free from snare, we fly away

From those who hunt this day

Snare is broken, we free to go

His grace shown so

 

Our help is in name of the LORD

Trusty, true is His word

Creator of earth and heaven

Our comfort then

          Thanks Gold. There are 'pat' answers, I suppose, though I don't know.

          we all need as much help as we can possibly get ..

          and some of us need more than is available ..
